It's called falling in love, dude. And that can happen, even in a casual relationship with no strings attached. And it alludes back to my original point: why continue to lead someone on when you can clearly see they want the more you're not ready to give? Outside of her path, Jake just looks like someone who's keeping her around for easy bums, and that's pretty shitty to do, no matter how you look at it.I don't really see any of that situation as Jake leading Veronica on at all. She knew his marital situation and they both agreed on the state of their relationship (casual). 3 months later, she wants a change in the relationship but he does not... Then she unilaterally decides that she's his girlfriend even if he doesn't agree to changing the relationship and gets super catty when another woman appears to align more with his interests.
So I don't think he lead her on at all. She's just being clingy, insecure, and fairly toxic imo.
Jake himself mentions that she sees something in him, alluding to the best part of him, which she obviously sees and wants to be a part of. Is she perhaps a little bit too territorial? Kinda, but with Jammin consistently making it a point to get under her skin, I don't blame her. Imagine if Jake had to deal with a young, handsome college student/ faculty member making passes at V, just to get to him.
